What's Cooking in the Kitchen?

GWL's Healthy Food Access Programs combine access with education in an effort to improve the overall nutrition and public health of the City of Lawrence and its residents. In addition to offering spaces to grow and places to purchase fresh, locally grown produce, Groundwork Lawrence is committed to delivering education programs that include cooking classes and a cooking club focused on integrating healthy foods into culturally appropriate meals. These education programs empower and inform community members about simple ways they can incorporate incremental changes to their cooking and eating habits for more successful sustainable outcomes.
